    What Harvey said.

    I am not a fan of McGinn's own opinion pieces, but I have always respected what he does concerning the draft. It seems that over the years he as managed to gather enough dirt or something on actual team scouts that they are willing to give him rather detailed opinions, and he filters through their conflicting remarks to achieve a combined analysis that has earned him great respect in the media. ESPN and other places refer to his draft pieces quite regularly, and he has won many awards for having the most accurate first round predictions.

    As much as I dislike the bulk of McGinn's work, he really shines for a couple weeks before the draft, when he is not using his own analysis but the combined works of an apparently large and quite competent network of individuals who scout the college players for a living.
    Sometimes you can see the work he does to balance opinions when you see the disconnect between the headline/lede paragraph and the ranking. One of the position rankings he put out this year was three paragraphs of doubt about a guy and then in the rankings he was listed first.

    You have to remember even a 1,500 word article is leaving a lot out.

      No, not with another year to test run Pennell, Boyd and Ringo.

        At least we got one good season out of Hunt...

        I'm thinking 1265 should just give up trying to draft DL in the 1st round... they're just not very good at it.
        Pre-injury, wasn't Harrell flashing in spurts? Considering it takes DL a year or two to develop in the NFL, that's what you look for. I still think Harrell could've been something except for his back injury.

          Before he hurt his back, yes. He could rag doll Guards. He wasn't Wilfork strong, but he was going to be fine one on one. Not much pass rush beside push, but he looked legit until the injuries, especially his back, went out.

            And his weight issues, and his tearing his ACL, and his torn bicep, toe fungus, hangnails...

                        It seems the response to that question Patler....from what I'm discovering is 'a likely NO '.

                          I liked all of those guys better than Clark.

                            I wish we could know what calls Ted fielded about trading back - as I said elsewhere, I'm guessing the Broncos and/or Cowboys called GB about trading up to get Lynch. Probably one or both teams realized there was a bidding war, so they had to move up higher to get Lynch, leaving GB behind.

                            I guess we'll find out how good Clark is compared to all the guys Ted didn't pick instead, especially the defensive linemen. We'll see. And if Wist will list the 5-6 guys he likes better, we can see how that plays out in three or four years, too.
